Answer 1

The correct answer is A)  The British lost twice as many troops as did the Patriots.

The Battle of Bunker Hill is considered a Patriot victory in that the British lost twice as many troops as did the Patriots.

One of the first battles of the Revolutionary War that was fought by the British troops and the Continental Army was the Battle of Bunker Hill. It was fought on June  17, 1775, in Breed's Hill. Although the English Army won the battle,  the Continental troops inflicted many casualties to the experimented British Army. That is why it was considered a Patriot "victory,"  because it represented a moral victory to the inexperienced Continental Army.
